may have had about the authorship
was removed by the Quibbling and art
full evasion of PIERCE. 1t was singu-
lar admission that the name of TYNER
was sent with the article for financial
credit. He has never been the Fargo
correspondent of the Pioneer Press, eX-
cept by the way of Aberdeen and other
places, where the credit must have been
earned. The article puts him in the I'M
comfortable attitude not only of playing
false to his superior officer, and perhaps
coming within the range of court
martial, but of slashing in the dark at
men whose friend he has claimed to be
and whose favor he has sought-by in
nuendo, at least, violating the sanctity
of the household and aspersing private
character. The matter does not reflect
much credit upon Gov. PIERCE, as he
admits having approved and sent the
article and connived at the trickery that
seeks to locate the authorship at Aber-
deem, when written at Fargo, and to
anonymously assail gentlemen and fam
lilies of the highest standing. Whether
straw man will be set up at Aberdeen
to bear the brunt, or the Fargo chieftain
will be left to get out of it as he can, re-
mains to be seen.

piOns to get in their work.
Gen. CAMPBELL, Editor POTTER and
some others of their persuasion have
vehemently declared that they will
never consent to admission unless they
can first have division. Here will be
ample room for them to play their
never-surrender role. If they have
faith in their sonorous claims
that the people are with them,
they should not hesitate to accept
the issue. What an opportunity for
them to show their faith and vindicate
their reputation as prophets and ex-
pOnents of the popular will. 1t is be-
lieved that the friends of one state are
more than willing to meet them on this
ground and abide the event of the bal
lot. But they will probably go to Wash
ington, still clamoring for their lost
cause" and seek to draw party lines,
holding out the allurement of four Re-
publican senators to swell the meager
majority in the upper branch. If they
succeed in inducing the senate to reject
an offer from the house of the admission
of one state, it will end the opportunity
for partisan misrepresentation as to who
are the ObStructiOniStS, and furnish
popular issue for the unionists in Da-
kota and their friends in the states.

THE TYNER CASE.

That Gen. TYNER episode has done
more to extend the fame of Gov.
CHURCH's dissolving Republican adju-
tant general than any of his official acts.
The general is not one of the class ''born
to blush unseen," although he would
have sacrificed the credit given him by in
struction of the ex-governor, on several
Aberdeen and even Fargo letters, to
have been able to do his blushing of
late in profound obscurity. He has
spent the week in st. Paul trying to re-
cover his equanimity, and adjust his re-
lations to the Aberdeen effusion. He is
reported far from satisfied with the in
geniOus bubble with which Gov.
PIERCE sought to relieve him. There
was no denial that TYNER was the Alb
erdeen writer-merely that he could have
had no connection with the affixing
of the signature. OF course not. That
was either a shrewd scheme of PIERCE
or a marvellous blunder in the home Of
fee. ANY question the parties attacked

WILD GEESE IN DAKOTA.
An Enthusiasts Description of the
InnumerabIe FlOckS.

For the information and, perhaps,
benefit of spOrtsmen l will give very
faint description of what we are daily
witnessing of the grand armies OF the
strong-winged birds whose name heads
this letter, writes a Harrisburg Dak.)
correspondent of the Indianapolis Jour
nal. OF the variety known further
south as wild'geese, the "hQnkers. as
they are called, from the peculiar cry
when on the wing, we see large NUM-
bers. A great many of these nest and
breed about the small lakes in cur
aeighborhOod, ami people often take the
eggs and batch them under domestic
birds. either geese or hens. Besides
these there are the brant, smaller gray
goose. and the beautiful snowy geese.
of these last there seems to be no limit
to numbers. The air is almost con-
stantly filled with their notes, and one
which is wonderfully wide from
these highlands - without seeing
flocks of these magnificent birds
wheeling across it in one direction or
another. No mathematics yet invented
could enumerate the hosts that have so
far appeared. Instantaneous phOtog-
raphy is the only method by which any
truthful representation can be given OF
their hosts. We rode out, day or two
since, to the lake tWamhuska. some
times Stump lake.. The day was one of
the mellow, golden, bracing, thoroughly
ENJOYABLE days that October sometimes
brings even to YOU poor jewellers amid
the mistS and damps of Indiana, but to
us she is lavish of such treasures during
her entire reign. All the day and the
DAYS before-One cannot tell for how
long-fockS on tlocks of geese, in count
less numbers. were sailing overhead IN
ranks and clusters of ranks, some dark
and some snowy white, with black-tipped
wings. They are cOngregating about
our beautiful lake, probably making
preliminary arrangements for their
southern flight. The whole blue vault,
which showed no cloud, was lined in
every direction by ranks of snowy birds.
The afternoon sun ShOne full upon
their brilliant plumage, tlngeing 1t
full golden color, than which no bird OF
paradise could be more dazzling; and
the vast numbers on wing OF shining,
:gold-hued hosts made one of the finest
Sights that one could behold. L never
saw ANYTHING to equal it. When we
came in full view of the lake, where
there are several miles of water in
Sight, there was another remarkable
Surprise for us. If the canopy above
was full of flying birds the surface of
that long stretch of glistening water
was a hundred times more so. Along
the further shore and far out from land
there were thousands of geese floating
SO close together that one saw no glim-
lner of water between them. Midway
between the shores islands of geese
foated, but appeared to observers on
the high banks like still, inanimate
earth covered with fresh fall of snow.
Sportsmen were crOuching here and
there behind elumps of bushes, and
every now and then rifle shot echoed
.along the woodland; but what were
few. Sportsmen among such multitudeS
of birds.

Fort Lincoln Is a Necessity.

SpSCldl W inc UlOUe.
MANDAN, Nov. 1S.-People in this
section realize very thoroughly that they
are surrounded by Indians. Sixty miles
south there are thousands on the Sioux
reservation; north are the Mandans and
GrOs VentreS. If there is any part of
the United States where the few SOL
diers that compose the standing army of
the country are needed, it is at such
points as this. Fort A. Lincoln, which
is five miles from this point, is located
as advantageOusly as any fort in the
country. 1t is within easy distance of
the railroad; is in water and rail COM
munication with the world; is health
fully located for the soldiers, and is in
every respect an ideal location for fort.
And yet, necessary as it is, and as adj
mirably located as pointed out, there
have been rumOrS that it would be
abandoned. For the protection of Man.
dan and Bismarck, it is very desirable
that it be retained. 1t is much more
necessary that it be retained, to act as a
bulwark against possible rising tide of
disatfected Sioux from the south, than
that the soldiers be removed to show
posts, where in the East there is no Oc-
cupatiOn but to burnIsh their weapons
and parade ON state occasions. The
Western communities that are sur
rounded, as this is, by dusky aborigIneS
whose nature it is to kill and demolish,
are entitled to the protection which the
sOldiery of the country can give them.

TITS singular fact that in all the
large counties of North Dakota such
as Pembina, Walsh, Grand Forks, Cas-,
etc.-the prohibition cause was carried
by the vote of the Scandinavian, Nor
wegian and Dane settlers, aided largely
by immigrants from Canada. 1t rs
been generally supposed that in - It
northern chimes the enlivening :, F..
ence of stimulantS was not under any
moral ban--but many of these classes
are opposed to the saloon rather than to
the use of stimulantS. Their pulpitS
generally insist that this sort of absorp-
ton must be done at home and not in
public places. So far as Dakota is con-
cerned, the migrants from Northern
Europe favor prohibition, and those
from further south on the continent
vote the other way.

The Mitchell Land Office.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The question
of the appointment of a register of the
land Office at Mitchell, in December, is
already causing some little discussion.
Last summer when it was definitely
aseertained that the incumbent would
be permitted to serve out his term the
battle was declared off and a truce
signed. But now, the matter is waxing
hot again. Those who do not know that
Gov. Church has already made up his
mind whom to appoint are struggling
for recognition. Others who expect
Mr.. Day to bring them the Office on
silver platter, are unmindful of the fact
that he gave the Office away long ago.
Still others who see an immense amount
of business and unlimited fees in the
opening OF the Crow Creek reservation,
never stop to think that the president
has promised the office to a gentleman
from New York. Hence, each man
viewing the matter from the vale in
which his intellectual horizon is circum-
scribed, sees nothing but his own rose
ate prospects" and bombards the gen
eral land office and the appointment
files of the interior department with his
letters, petitions and circumstances.
Mr.. Rowley probably will say less
against the result than any one else.

A MORE LIBERAL POLICY.
Hope Expressed That Further

Has Been Checked.

Hope Expressed That Further
Discrimination Against Dakota
Lands by the Northern Pacific
Has Been Checked.
Special to the Globe.
MANDAN, Nov. 1S.-The people along
the line of the Northern Pacific are
hoping that some of the new blood
which has been infused into the direct
DRY of the Northern Pacific, may be
able to bring about a change in the di-
rection of liberality in the land policy
of the road. The management, in pur
suance of the policy which they seemed
to think the most advantageous, have
strained every nerve to people the west
ern end of their road, and the settling
boom has daily gone on past the fertile
lands of North Dakota. The land eX-
plOrer's tickets, which gave man a
much cheaper fare to Washington terri
tory than to Dakota, in proportion to the
distance, served the purpose sought by
the management-the purpose of get
ting a long haul on their freight. But
the interstate commerce commission has
decided against these tickets, and here
after land explorers who desire to view
the western domain of the Northern Pa
cific will be compelled to pay ordinary
fares. There is every reason to believe
that this decision will be the means of
BENEFITING THIS SECTION OF COUNTRY
the Missouri slope. The land seeker
will find that he can buy thousand
mile ticket in ST. Paul for S25, which
will take him to Mandan and back and
have few miles left. This will be a
great deal cheaper way of seeing and
sorting land than the old plan of going
as far west as he can, into the wilds of
Washington territory, and there getting
land which is no better and no cheaper
than that which they passed In Dakota.

PULL FOR ONE STATE.

Neither uniOnlStS nor diVlSlOnlStS care
to compute the details of the voting
done OH the Sth on the question of split
ting the territory on an east and west
line. 1t is enough to know that the
North spontaneously gave the bulk of
its vote adverse to the movement, and
that the aggregate vote falls far short
of full popular expression. 1t is rare
that people cast their ballots on any
question of general concern with such
listleSs indifference. lis probable that
majority of those who voted on either
side took the ballots without caring
how they were printed. One
instance will show this. A
ward politician in one of the larger
cities. in getting the tickets for his
ward. asked local magnate how he
should fix them on division. He was
told it didn't matter much, but that he
might as well put them for. He did so,
and that ward gave large majority for
division, although all the others in the
city went the other way. The men who
cast the ballots didn't care which
way they were fixed. This indiffer-
ence was by no means shared by the di-
vision politicians in any section. They
fumed and eXhorted, but the people did
not respond. As a result, many thou
sands less than majority of the voters
of the territory have joined in the petit
ton for two states-for that is all the
voting amounted to. Only the implaca-
bles or the meagerly informed now
quarrel with the assumption that the di
vision movement is a failure, and that,
if statehood is to be had, but one state
must be insisted upon. This feeling is
now taking shape in favor of the union
convention being called at Aberdeen
on Dec. Is. 1t is the first move
ment ever inaug urated in the territory
for the promotion of statehood in which
all sections OF the territory are to have
voice. Some of the politicians Of the
South have occasionally held conven-
tons and kicked ineffectively against
the door of the union, but there has
been no effort in which all the counties
had hand. The divisioniSts have been
allowed to do most of the resoluting and
figuring in the public eye, and, having
failed in all their efforts, it is evidently
a favorable time for the friends of one
state to come to the front. Let them
convene in strong force at Aberdeen and
prepare forcible presentation of the
needs of the people, and have it taken
to Washington by men of reputation
and influence of both parties. If they are
not tempered with and thwarted by the
"AMPBELL factionists, there is hardly
uestion that favorable consideration
